    It would definitely be a bit more annoying to program, and a bit more naggy to the user for permissions during setup I'm sure, and running in the background would take some finagling and extra work and iOS could still kill it in the background on you ... but otherwise it'd be the same.

    Sure, it's possible. But you're basically turning the browser into a virtual machine and building an app on that virtual machine, jumping through a lot of weird hoops in the process. It's unnecessary. Or should be unnecessary, anyway, with a sane operating system.
